Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, nearly all classes of cattle traded significantly higher, mostly 8.00 to 12.00 higher with instances as much as 13.00 to 18.00 higher, specifically on 500-600 lb heifers and 600-700 lb steers as well as some load lots of 8 weight steers. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 2.00 higher. A large crowd and a really nice run of cattle on hand for this Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale at Unionville Livestock. Several extra buyers were in the seats this week and while the yearling loads probably caused the biggest splash and most buyer activity of the day, 6 weight steers saw the sharpest advance. Supply heavy, demand good to very good.
